Born on 7 October 1837 he was educated at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where he was 14th Wrangler in 1859. He was a Lecturer then Fellow at the College before studying for ordination. His subsequent appointments included a period as Vicar of Kenwyn, the post of Principal of Truro Training College and Archdeacon of Cornwall before a 15-year stint as a Suffragan Bishop as the inaugural Bishop of St Germans.
